She'd Need New Glasses for Christmas

Jim Bauer @porwest (110628) • United States 3 Nov

I remember when I was in the third grade, and at the time, I still firmly believed that Santa Claus was a real person who slid down the chimney with a bag full of toys and reindeer patiently waiting on the roof. You weren't going...

ShannyBananny Oh wow you had a nasty temper. I did as well though. I can’t imagine the fury I would feel if another kid did that to my daughter’s glasses. She would be to blind to do anything for a few weeks while waiting for new glasses to be made for her. I always worry...

A bird almost flew into my house.

Kayla Tsukino @kaylachan (80348) • Daytona Beach, Florida 2 Nov

Earlier today, while collecting the radio and George's soda from the front porch, a white bird flew at me, landing on our roof. Back when we lived at the Breakers, there was a pond where ducks often frequented. If people with...

A childhood song I have never forgotten.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (50428) 2 Nov

Do you have one of those? A song that made you feel happy and loved, taught to you by a loved one? I do...and it's a somewhat silly little tune, but it helped me in my childhood and even now, it pops up in my head quite often. I...

LindaOH @LindaOHio (205101) • United States 2 Nov

Did you remember to set your clocks back last night? I'm so looking forward to it getting dark at 5 pm.....not! Cousin #3 finally made it over at 12:15 yesterday and stayed for 2 hours. She said that she's been working overtime...

ShannyBananny My mom texted to remind me about the clocks but I only have one in the house to set. The rest are just our cell phones that automatically do it.

Pot-holders for friends

Judy Evans @JudyEv (364963) • Rockingham, Australia 28 Oct

I am at the stage of my life where I’m trying to get rid of things rather than accumulate more. However, when we’re travelling, it’s nice to support the local communities that we pass through. When we went to Wongan Hills, I...

ShannyBananny Those a very beautiful pot holders. Whoever receives them I think will love them. That’s something I would buy from my mother in law. I too love to support local crafters.

What About Pets on Halloween?

celticeagle @celticeagle (181371) • Boise, Idaho 31 Oct

Since 2018 Americans have spent at least $500 million annually on pet costumes. This according to the National Retail Federation. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic pet spending held steady. Hot dog and pumpkin costumes are...

ShannyBananny 100% what you say about being thankful for teaching us how not to be. They a show us what a bad example is. It’s always good when things can be a learning experience for us.

Hershey's means chocolate

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (166266) • United States 28 Oct

I just read a short biography of Milton Hershey, the founding father of the Hershey's chocolate company, and Hershey, Pennsylvania. I do not know if Facebook featured this because it is National Chocolate Day, or because kids...

ShannyBananny I had no idea that about his life. I toured the factory when I was about 12. If they told us about that I don’t recall it but I sure hope they did mention that as it’s a wonderful thing he and his wife did.

People Change

Amber @AmbiePam (105542) • United States 25 Oct

Some days I read what people have to say, and my heart gets heavy. The lack of empathy, the judgment, the snobbery, and the disdain hurt my heart. But no one HAS to be like that. They choose to cling to those feelings. People...

ShannyBananny I used to be a lot different years ago as a teen and young adult. It took moving out of my parents home, someone pointing out how I never had anything nice to say, having children to set an example for and my first husband dying to change me.

Yellow School Bus

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (124449) • Marion, Ohio 12 Oct

I love the way this turned out. The hen and chicks should be rooted in great by next summer. I will then take it to the auction. If it sells good I will stop at some yard sales next year looking for more. That's the only thing I...

Rambling Rose

RasmaSandra @RasmaSandra (90497) • Daytona Beach, Florida 28 Sep

I don’t know what it is and I have no idea why but today for some reason the song “Rambling Rose” by Nat King Cole came to mind. It all began oddly by the thought of roses in my head. I thought, what roses? In Latvia I had roses...

2 year old dies at that stampede

Always smiling @allknowing (154166) • India 28 Sep

Did you ever use a vision board, if so did your vision come true

snowy @snowy22315 (198252) • United States 26 Sep

Taking Calcium is really benefitting me
